Over your lifetime, you will only get two sets of teeth. You must take good care of teeth to keep them healthy.
Key takeaways:
– People may use their teeth to pry open packages and bottles. This habit is damaging to the teeth leading to chipped teeth and sensitivity.
– Frequent snacking on sugary foods over the course of a the day will predispose you to plaque formation and tooth cavities.
– Constantly biting the nails is not good for your teeth, often leading to chipped teeth.
Snacking could put your teeth at risk for cavities, especially if it involves sugary drinks and food. After you’ve eaten, bacteria in your mouth feast on the leftover food and produce acid that affects your tooth enamel.

Dr. Colin Conway BDS BSc South AfricaWith more than 20 years experience in dental practice, Colin has never been more excited and passionate about his dentistry!
Colin grew up in South Africa, and completed studies toward research science and dentistry degrees in South Africa. He moved from Cape Town to the UK in April 2002, and has worked in some of the UK’s leading dental practices - gaining the experience and confidence to offer a wide range of dental services.
Says Colin: "I often joke that I moved to the UK for the weather! But actually I moved because the UK offers world-class opportunities for dentists to expand their knowledge and skillset, a fact which I have embraced. I am equally comfortable doing a dental check-up and cleaning, placing a dental implant or fitting braces to straighten teeth."
Colin lives in Windsor with his partner and two dogs, enjoying the city/country balance offered by its close proximity to London. On weekends, you’re likely to find him cycling along the river or in some of the great parks surrounding the town.
